A Brown University economics professor says a take-home exam intended to accommodate students traumatized by a campus tragedy instead exposed what he believes is one of the largest artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted cheating scandals in Ivy League history.
According to Inside Higher Ed, Brown economics professor Roberto Serrano said he became convinced that widespread AI use had occurred after students in his Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory course earned unusually high scores on a take-home midterm administered during the spring semester.
